JavaScript is one of the most interesting and misunderstood programming languages in common use today. Most developers will go their entire careers without realizing its full potential. It's not often that you get a language that supports the feature set that JavaScript does, while still being as widely deployed. This talk will spotlight some patterns surrounding JavaScript's most elegant features such as closures, lambdas, object and array literals, object prototypes, private members and dynamic scope resolution -- all without boring you to tears.

As to standards, rather than bake a lot of type-checking overhead into JavaScript, I’d suggest that we work toward standards for documenting our code through convention and comment. Today’s IDEs are better suited for type-checking and general “saving us from ourselves” than the actual compilers or script processors. Witness JS Lint. If an IDE sees that we are using nSomething as a string, rather than a number, an IDE can tell us that while we are writing the code. |
